CALL A DOCTOR Maven ran to her mother's room.Lady Victoria jumped out of bed. Her heart almost fell out of her mouth.‘What is the problem with you? Why are you running?Is the house on fire?”Lady Victoria asked with curiosity. Her heart was pumping so fast with the way Maven pushed the door.“I know who got me the car now”. Maven said with excitement in her tone“You do? Has he called yet? We should make dinner for him tomorrow or what do you think?”.“Thomas—”I do not want to hear that name. He is a fool and I don't want to see him here. We have a chef now and we will do with what we have. Thomas can not make one more meal in this house. I almost died from his filthy and insipid cooking. She spoke to Maven like it truly happened.Maven shrugged her shoulders “I can't remember all that but I really think Thomas got me that car mom”. She let the words fall out of her mouth. Lady Victoria cackled. Don't be a silly Maven. The same Thomas that was here? Or another Thomas. “Thomas Mi
MAVEN HAS GONE MADWhen grandma noticed Maven's absence from the meeting the next morning she knew something was wrong. “How could she abandon everything like that after everything we have Newman through to get this project done.” She scowled angrily pacing the room to and fro.“I told she is incompetent but you don't see anything wrong with her nonchalant attire”. Patrick said the words with spite. But grandma quickly shot him out like a plague threatening to enter a city with armed soldiers.“Shut your trap. You did worse in less than four months and you dare to call Maven incompetent? This was the very first time grandma would be taking sides with Maven.“I shall not have to speak about Maven in such a way”. Grandma scolded with a frown on her face. ‘I only wanted to—”“Shut it Patrick there's no need for all that. I need to find her or summon her here” Grandma Clara spoke with pain in her heart.“She giant taking my calls I called her several times to no avail”. Patrick said
SHAME ON YOUThomas looked at his wrist watch. The latest romford brand. He took a deep breath and consciously walked the spacious office back and forth.What in heaven's name is going on here? We are supposed to have a meeting with the Taylor's and none of them has shown up yet.”Thomas checked his watch again as he spoke to meet his assistant James standing behind him.“Situation report James”. He spoke in a very cold tone and scanned his facial expression with his eyes.“Well, I don't think the Taylor's would come, especially the young Ms. Taylor. I heard he has some strange illness and can not be here for the meeting”. The PA announced.“That's a big fat lie James.You can't tell me Maven is sick when I haven't gotten any signal here” Thomas spoke. “What do you mean sir? James asked him with a look of confusion in his face.“Well, it's what I was told,”James answered calmly. Thomas began to panic. His necklace blinked and he got the signal. “I think she is just stressed but she w
ANOTHER MOVE“What do we tell mom, that’s what should be on your mind at this moment Derrick. Get that rude boy out of your head. We haven’t done anything since opening and we left other stuff behind because we want to try our chances just to make our mother see how truly ‘worthy’ we are”. Patrick let the words fall out of his mouth in anger. He just cannot imagine that the boss of the Al Thani group who had asked them to come suddenly changed his mind from seeing themes planned. This was a slap to their faces.“I heard his grandson is in charge now, the boy doesn’t have respect for elders and business associates. I mean look how he just made us look like fools before his staff. I feel so ashamed to have showed up here with you in the first place.“There is never a time you want to come with me, but you would eat the money once it drops in your debt infested account “Patrick scowled and went on to slam the car door after entering the front sit. He started the car and drove out of the
I HAD TO DO IT Grandma had gone to Maven’s house the previous night to plead for her to help. Maven has not been herself since the day she found out her relationship with Thomas has been built on lies. She told grandma that Thomas was the grandson of the great Rufus Al Thani but grandma doesn’t believe her so she stopped trying to prove a point. “Grandma doesn’t know how difficult it is to face him when he is in his domineering mood.” Maven complained to her mother as she aged to get herself dressed for the meeting. “There is even no need to send them mail to inform them about my arrival. I do not need to have anything to do with Thomas for now”. She said the words with a heavy heart. “Are you sure he is the one? Remember you said you were a little bit tired when you went out with Sebastian. “I know what I saw mom and I am telling that Thomas is an Al Thani, he had the family band on his wrist and that is enough evidence’ “Well, I don’t want to believe you until I see things for
TERMS AND CONDITIONS Mavens eyes widened the moment she heard him say terms and conditions.That's insane, she knows the terms and conditions would definitely soothe her family and the company so for now she didn't have anything to fear until he asked. “Don't give me that look Ms. Taylor or should I refer to you as Mrs. Thomas Al Thani” Thomas teased her in a way that her legs began to tremble under the table. She cursed and muttered under her breath. Now she can only wish uncle Patrick and uncle Derrick were here to face the heat with her. She held the papers close to herself, inside her suit was sweat forming beads and trailing down her back. She has thought it would be very easy to sign the damn documents and leave but reverse seems to be the case here as every passing moment grew out with difficulty. She puffed out hot air as everyone began to leave the room. “Let me have that Ms. Taylor”. Thomas said and grabbed the document from her even before she could stutter a word fr
SO GRANDMA CAN BE SWEET!Maven walked straight into grandma’s house. The document she had signed is going to make grandma give her some credit at least. She strapped it to her arm and hurried into the mansion. Grandma Clara was seated with a glass of wine in her hand and some cookies on a plate.“Hey Maven, you good?” Grandma asked with a smile on her face.“’I am fine grandma Maven answered with a suspicious look in her eyes, she still doesn’t understand why her grandmother had that mischievous smile stacked to her face like she had just won a lottery.“Well, I have signed the deal but there is a condition attached to it”. Maven announced to her mother. Looking away.Grandma Clara’s brows curved with interest.“A condition? What kind of conditions are that?” Grandma Clara asked with her nose raised in the air.“Well, the condition is I have to attend every meeting and fix myself else we would pay a seventy percent fine’. Maven informed grandma sharply.“Then you have to do as you hav
A TRICK Maven knows that talking to Thomas at this time was simply just a very wrong idea. She took grandma’s words as just a way of having her think she had changed. With the strange chime on the doorbell Maven looked at grandma and then back to her drink. “That should be your uncle and his son”. MA Clara declared and just then the maid rushed to the door and opened to reveal Uncle Patrick, Uncle Damon and David Maven rolled her eyes unconsciously before they reached the living room. The three musketeers are the reason grandma has been treating her badly all these while. She smacked her lip and now that she knows she has defeated them she raised her shoulders and crossed her legs comfortably on the seat. “Oh look who we have here. She has come to report herself on the simple task that she could not do for the family yet she has the effrontery to cross her legs like she can actually buy the whole house. “You must be respectful David’. Grandma shunned him for once on Mavens defe
